the making of those guitars has not changed since they begun, and yet their prices have skyrocketed. I mean 7 grand for a Vernon Reid guitar. You gotta be kidding me.

Shecter weighs 10 to 12 lbs ,Fly weighs 4lbs.

i assume you've heard of inflation...

if not you won't want to know what it used to cost to buy a tank of gas.

I agree it is BULL$HIT

I love Parker's designs, but $700+ for a made in china electric? No thanks.

@jeffreycollins Actually I heard alot has changed. They used to use a shotty truss rod. It was made of piano wire. They also have changed the springs in the tremolo, however this actually saved them money in the long run so..... I agree but with the troubles I read about in the 90's and I think early 00's, its probably a necessity to stay in business. The production manager on another video made it sound like they were coming back in substantial quantities for a lil while.

it won't let me post the link for some reason. if you search on ebay " parker fly deluxe mint ", and " parker fly classic mint ", just look for the emerald guitar and the plum colored guitar. those two are mine. you'll know they're mine if the location says nashville, tn

@dustinkirk Yeah I have been looking for one for a minute, not much on e-bay but guitar center has a good used one right now I like, send me the link I would love to check them out.

@jeffreycollins cos "money" drop their "price" endlessly.. check out the zeitgeist's movies(specially "moving forward") , it will tell you why..

@jeffreycollins Better value than a private stock PRS. It takes nearly 40 hours to make a standard Fly not allowing for the installation of GK-2. A Les Paul takes about 9 hours and a Strat 6. The man hours in these things is amazing. Also you will find that street for a Vernon Reid is more like $5000. I have a '95 Deluxe which plays like new because it was so well made with technology that will last, zero fret wear and the neck is perfect. Ferraris aren't cheap for a reason - so it is with a Fly
